Unforgettable experience with an energetic guide - Shared some unforgettable food experiences with the wonderfully energetic, friendly and knowledgeable Ammar. I was introduced to food and drinks I’ve never tasted before and as a vegetarian, I didn’t go hungry. The tour definitely lives up to its title of hidden gems, such as the restaurant in Garden City, and I loved the energy of the owners and workers at the well known cafes. Loved the tamarind juice from Muhammad’s stall and the mango icecream from El Abd Patisserie. Sailboat on the Nile with skipper Ali was also a highlight. I loved everything about this tour and highly recommend it. Come with an empty stomach, ready to eat the best of Egyptian cuisine. Thanks Ammar for being a wonderful guide and host!

This Food Tour should not be missed. - One of the best experiences I had in Cairo. I would definitely recommend this tour with Semsem.
The guide was very considerate and took me to the most happening food joints downtown. We tried a lot of things.
By the end of the trip, I couldn't afford to have anything else, as I was so full. And we topped it off with a boat ride over the Nile.
Undoubtedly, the most wholesome and endearing experience. Great work. Keep it up !!!

There was an abundance of food, including local favorites. One of the highlights of the tour was the beautiful boat ride in the Nile. Definitely recommend to everyone looking to have a taste of authentic Egyptian street food.
